The Faculty of Languages is dedicated to promoting excellence in language education, linguistic research and intercultural communication, equipping students with the linguistic knowledge, communication skills and cultural understanding needed in an interconnected world.
Originally established as part of Somali National University, the Faculty was re-established in 2022 after more than three decades of inactivity following the civil war. Its revival reflects the University’s commitment to producing graduates who can support national development, education, diplomacy, translation, media and international cooperation.
In response to national priorities, the Faculty relaunched with three major language programmes: English, Arabic and Somali. It also supports the wider University community by enhancing academic writing, research and professional language competence.
